— foristé who have served both the State and the | public for many years t» the age of seventy. It looks like a parliamentary limiting of the period of vigor of the hunvan intellect, We must, however, bear in mind that the mental strain and corporeal wear aid tear which ensue from legal study, bar practice and bench duty in this country are very intense and exhausting ; so it may be that the present measure will operate very beneficially. From the bench of Great Britain judges over seventy years of age have frequently delivered the most lucid decisions; but we have also the case of a late Baron of the Irish Exchequer, who, when he had arrived at that time of life, would involuntarily doze into asleep in the midst of the delivery of an opinion, and was removed by @ special vote of the House of Lords. Obstructions on Carriage Ways and Pub- He Thoroughfares. The melancholy death of ‘our old and es- qpemed fellow citizen, Mr. James Harper, by ‘being thrown from his vehicle on Fifth ave- ‘nue, haB already been chronicled. It seems: that the accident occurred, briefly, in this manner: A cart crossed the avenue, and Mr. ‘Harper brought his horses to a full stop to allow thescartto pass. On starting again, the pole or shaft of his vehicle struck the wheel of the cart, his horses became frightened, dashed offat terrific speed, the buggy struck another vehicle, and Mr. Harper was thrown over the dashboard, and dragged under the buggy for a considerable distance, and ultimately taken up insensible. While sympathizing with the relatives of the deceased in their sudden bereavement we cherish the hope that some good to the com- muhity may result from this deplorable acci- dent—an accident that has deprived a wide circle of friends of a beloved associate and the city of one of its most substantial pillars. We have been repeatedly obliged to report acci- dents arising from obstructions in the public streets. At one time they arise from collision with piles of bricks or masses of rock used for ‘building purposes, at another by collision ‘with lumbering carts and heavily laden trucks driven by careless or indifferent drivers, at others by the neglect of those having the re- spohsibility of giving .proper warning of dan- gerous obstructions. However necessary it is for the proper authorities to abate these evils in the streets used for business purposes, it is especially their duty to see that every precau- tion is taken to keep the carriage ways used for pleasure travel free from the perils of col- lision. Carts and trucks are not allowed upon ‘the Park—why should they be permitted to obstruct the travel at hours when the main avenue leading thereto is filled with carriages cogveying infirm and aged citizens, as well as ladies and children, to the only spot within the limits of the city where an hour's drive or ramble for recreation can be obtained? The Park might as well be located in the moon as on Manhattan Island if the chief ave- nue: leading thereto be filled with mantraps andimpediments rendering access both diffi- cult.and dangerous, We propose, therefore, that the plan adopted in regard to the parks and pleasure grounds in Paris, in similar emergencies, be ‘enforced here. That is, to establish regulation that during certain hours in the afternoon, when Fifth avenue is thronged with carriages going to or returning from the Park, the avenue, within a prescribed distance from the pleasure grounds, shall not be encambered with dirt carts, heavy stone trucks and vehicles of that description. There exists an ordinance against fast driving on the avenue as well as in the Park. This is a precaution against accidents, and should be rigidly enforced. Why, then, should not the principle be carried out still farther, by removing the obstacles we refer to during a few hours in a summer afternoon? Moreover, a number of new buildings are going up in the neighborhood of the Park, and a large amount of rubbish, independent of the necessary building material, is permitted to accumulate to the injury of the thoroughfare. This should all be promptly removed by a per- emptory order from the authorities. We also suggest that the dangerous business of explod- ing rocks within close proximity to the Park or avenue at n hour when hundreds of private carriages are constantly passing and repassing be, for the time being, suspended. While carrying on the interior improvements of our grand pleasure resort the surroundings should not be overlooked, and it is with this view, prompted by the untimely and tragic death of one of our best citizens, that we throw out these suggestions. Some strictures hitherto made by us in the same connection, we are happy to see, have not been disregarded, and ‘we trust the above will receive similar recog- aition. Consolidation of Regiments Begun—Business of the War Department. ‘WASHINGTON, March 29, 1869, Brevet Lieutenant Colone? R. F. O'Beirne, captain Twenty-third infantry, has been ordered to join his regiment in the First Military District and accom- ny it to the Pacific coast, Brigadier General Julius Serre, United States Army, is to await further Orders at his home. ‘The movement of troops in execution of consolida- tion has begun.

VIRGINIA, Sheriffs and Magiatrates Continued in Ofice— Officers Appointed and Removed Since BK RicuMonp, March 29, 1869, General Stoneman to-day issued an order continu- ing the Sheriffs and magistrates, under chapter 36 of the code of Virginia, in office until their successors qualify. This will prebably stay the oficial clash that has occurred since the promulgation of Stone- man’s sweeping removal order. The records show that the whole number of appointments made amount to the number of 2,554. Of these, 161 were made by General Schofield in 1867 and 371 in 1868, The number of appointments made by General Stone- man in 1868 numbered 175 and in 1869 1,847. The whole number of offices in the State is 6,461, of which 2,907 are yet to be filled. General Stoneman has removed a number of the former appointees, whose places he has also had to fill, Itisscarcely probable that the entire number of official positions can be filled in the next month, as thelr successors cannot be found.
